Innumeracy Ills
O.k., it's the English edition of a Russian newspaper online, and we all know nobody can spell on the internet. I'm sure it will be fixed sooner rather than later, but meanwhile, Mathimatically [sic] gifted people use all their brain, according to this Pravda article, while apparently newpaper editors only use the part that knows when it's lunchtime. The body of the article manages to use the correct spelling. I may not be able to balance my checkbook, but I can use a dictionary.
